Flintshire advisers promote Botox and fillers to be included in the specific Wales’ licensing rules

The Welsh government is behind the seasons and must include beauty processes such as filler and botox in new special procedures, according to Flintshire advisers.

Members of the Flintshire County Council licensing committee will now write to SENEDD to urge them to do aesthetic processes that include perforation of the skin subject to the same new licensing conditions as tattoos and body perforation.

The new measures came into force in Wales on November 29, requiring any specialist procedures-specific cosmetic perforation, tattoos, semi-permanent makeup such as micro-bloblading, acupuncture, dry needle and electroling to have a new license.

To qualify for professionals would need a valid DBS to show that they had no beliefs banning them from working, that facilities and work practices were safe and sterile and to acquire the new regulated level 2 in the prevention and control of infections for specialist professionals.

Practitioners are no longer allowed to exercise without permission and all persons with license and businesses will be registered in a public database so that the public can search for licensed professionals in their area.

In England, where similar licensing regulations are introduced, beauty procedures should be licensed in the same way as tattoos and piercers.

“I think Wales is just behind the season if England is already doing it,” said Saltney Ferry Cllr Richard Lloyd. “At the end of the day these aesthetic processes include a needle that goes to your skin.

“I’m afraid of people who go to someone’s street and home to get injections that are not covered by this permission. The Welsh Government must take their act together. ”

Flintshire’s Health, Safety and Environmental Control Manager Gill Hulme said he expects this legislation to be the first phase with more procedures added to 12 months.

“It is amazing how long it takes to get to this point, the Welsh government began to consider this in 2013,” he said.

“Health and safety legislation continues to govern beauty salons. They simply do not fall under this licensing system right now.

“This is the first part of the regulations. I think the idea by the Wales government was that they could see how this would be released, they would put a licensing system for these limited areas, and then within 12 months they will review it and see if other areas will come.”

Buckley Bistre West CLLR Carolyn PREECE agreed with CLLR Lloyd’s concerns.

“The Wales government was extremely slow,” he said. “Botox parties continue for a long time and its risks are known. These things must be included in the licensing program.”

The Licensing Committee has agreed to write the Welsh government to encourage it to consider again to include businesses and people offering invasive beauty therapies in the context of licensing.

There are about 150 existing eligible tattoos and drilling professionals who required permission under new regulations.

They are allowed to continue transactions by August, while applying for their special procedures. According to the Flintshire Planning, Environment and Economics Department, 50 have already applied, about 90% of those who are not in the process of responding to the prevention and control of the infection to be applied and applied and No red flags or obstacles to practice has increased through DBS checks to applicants so far.
